Open a Discord DM for new contacts
Prepare a direct conversation space as soon as a contact enters your network.
Trigger
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Action
Initiate user channel with recipient
Creates a new direct message (dm) channel or retrieves an existing one, using `recipient id` for a 1-on-1 dm or `access tokens` for a group dm; this action only establishes or fetches the channel and does not send messages.
Why this helps
New contacts require repeated setup before a team member can coordinate privately.
- Prepare a private conversation space
- Reduce setup steps
- Keep contact handoffs moving
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Discordbot in Notis once.
- 2Create a new contact handoff automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create or retrieve a DM channel for the contact when a matching Discord user id is available.
- 4Pick New Contact Added as the trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Test it with one real contact.
Questions about this workflow
Does this send a message?
No. This action establishes or retrieves the DM channel only.
What if there is no Discord user id?
Ask Notis to report the missing identifier so someone can complete the handoff.
